As part of the BSL's outreach activities, we have made REDI earthquake
data available to a number of universities, colleges, and museums as
educational displays. As noted above, this year marked the expansion of
this program to the K-12 environment. Participating organizations receive
a REDI pager and the Qpager software to display the earthquake information.
The Qpager program maps the previous seven days of seismicity, with
earthquake shown as a dot. The size of the dot indicates the magnitude of
the event, while the color of the dot indicates its age. These
educational displays have been installed at UC Berkeley (McCone Hall,
Earthquake Engineering Research Center, LHS),
California Academy of Sciences,
CSU Fresno,
CSU Northridge,
CSU Sacramento,
Caltech,
College of the Redwoods,
Fresno City College,
Humboldt State University,
San Diego State University,
Sonoma State University,
Stanford University (Blume Engineering Center, Department of Geophysics),
UC Davis,
UC Santa Cruz,
UC San Diego,
and USC.
In a pilot project initiated two years ago, the San Francisco Unified School
District has been given two pager systems for use in middle school classrooms.

In addition to the seismicity displays, the BSL provides local waveform
feeds for helicorders at several visitor centers associated with BDSN
stations (CMB and MHC). Organizations such as LHS, KRON,
and KPIX receive feeds from BKS via dedicated phone lines for display,
while the USGS Menlo Park uses data from CMB for display in the lobby
of the seismology building. The BSL has also loaned a seismometer and
helicorder display to the San Leandro Unified School District for
their use in science classes.
